the lesser gods

I've seen the light.
repented,
dropped to my
knees and begged
forgiveness for past
and future sins.
there are holes
in my pants where
the knees have
worn through.
I wonder sometimes
if He will stop
listening and not
take the call, will
he put me on hold,
or transfer me
to a lesser god,
a minor one who
does the weather,
or sports, or
handles those prayers
for parking spots.
